Actress Yami Gautam has once again become a topic of discussion on social media, this time over an alleged Instagram like related to her portrayal of Maa Sita. A screenshot circulating on Reddit appears to show the actress liking a post that praised her as the perfect choice to play Maa Sita. However, RVCJ Media could not independently verify the screenshot and the alleged like was not visible on the original Instagram post when the publication checked.
The post was originally shared by an Instagram page called The Ultimate Trolls. It admired Yami Gautam Dhar and suggested that no other actress could portray Maa Sita better than her. The screenshot of the alleged like was later shared on Reddit, where users began discussing her social media activity amid the ongoing buzz around the film Ramayana.
The Reddit user who posted the screenshot also made a sarcastic remark about Yami Gautam’s alleged reaction. Several users joined the discussion, with some making fun of the actress over the incident. This latest controversy has also brought back memories of the earlier social media row involving Yami Gautam and Kriti Sanon.

In March 2026, Yami Gautam faced criticism after social media users claimed that she had liked a reel taking a dig at Kriti Sanon’s Best Actress award win at the Zee Cine Awards for her performance in Tere Ishk Mein. The reel reportedly featured Kriti celebrating her award alongside an old interview clip in which Yami spoke about recognition at award functions. The alleged Instagram like triggered criticism online, prompting Yami to clarify the situation through a post on X.
In her clarification, Yami Gautam explained that celebrities are tagged in numerous social media posts every day and that the reel had appeared among several other tags related to an award function. She denied deliberately liking content that was disrespectful towards another actress and suggested that the interaction could have happened accidentally. She also strongly rejected allegations of using publicity stunts or negative promotional tactics to gain attention.
On the professional front, Yami Gautam was last seen in Nayyi Navelli, a fantasy comedy directed by Balaji Mohan. The film was released on October 16, 2026, and featured Yami as Mohini, a seemingly perfect bride whose brother-in-law begins suspecting that she might actually be a daayan.
Meanwhile, Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited film Ramayana: Part 1 features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Maa Sita and Yash as Ravana. The two-part adaptation also includes Sunny Deol and Ravi Dubey in important roles.
The film has also been performing strongly at the box office. As of November 10, Ramayana: Part 1 has collected Rs 346.35 crore net in India within its first five days. Its worldwide box office collection has reached Rs 663.90 crore. On Monday, November 9, the film earned Rs 107.50 crore, recording its biggest single-day collection so far.
With the film continuing to attract attention and Yami Gautam’s alleged Instagram activity becoming a talking point, the actress has once again found herself at the centre of online discussions. What is your take on this matter?
